Treatment of secondary allylic chlorides or allylic phosphates in tetrahydrofuran with prenyl Grignard reagent in the presence of CuCN · 2 LiCl gave geraniol or farnesol derivatives with high S(N)2' selectivity. Phosphate leaving groups were highly transstereoselective for the formation of (E,E)-farnesol derivatives. Furthermore, complete anti-S(N)2' selectivity was observed in the alkylation of optically active allylic phosphates. The present method appears to be an excellent carbon-carbon coupling reaction with high regio-, (E)-, and enantioselectivity. Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone 10) was efficiently synthesized using this methodology.

Physiologically active polyisopreoidquinones, ubiquinone-10 (coenzyme Q10), phylloquinone (vitamin K1), and menaquinone-4 (vitamin K2(20)) were synthesized by a chain-extending method utilizing protected hydroquinones with the omega-hydroxyprenyl or omega-hydroxygeranyl side chain.Conditions for reductive desulfurization subsequent to allylic homologation was investigated.
